If you walk up to someone and start the conversation in German, it can continue in German. If you need to conduct business and aren't comfortable concluding it in a language you struggle with, you can always switch to English and be successful.
I was able to use quite a bit more German than I thought I would when I visited Austria and Germany for a few weeks in 2008; it had been almost a decade since I had studied German in college.
The list of ingredients cannot be copyrighted. Thus a simple recipe - one where the entire instructions consists of the list of ingredients, where the only procedure is implied (i.e. dump and mix, serve) cannot be copyrighted.
The text of the procedural instructions can be copyrighted. However, the method cannot as you note - so if the person borrowing the recipe prints the ingredient list verbatim, but rewrites the procedures to do the same thing in his or her own words, he hasn't infringed on the original author's copyright.
What part of the job description for "bar tender" involves second-hand cigarette smoke?
"Ability to receive and follow instructions", "ability to work with customers", and "ability to handle alcohol" are requirements for the job. Smoke is not.
They moved slowly because they were by themselves, and they didn't want the machines to get stuck in unknown soil or on a rock.
Working a fixed site, the topography would be known in great detail. And there would be multiple robots, so even if one somehow managed to get stuck on a surface whose texture was already well known, another robot could roll over and pull it out.
Those first few 60 year olds who died on Mars paved the way, over the next thousand years, for the colony ships to another habitable planet. Then when the Earth is wiped out we can survive as a species.
The actual Beatles - Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr - have nothing against iTunes. McCartney's music has been available there for quite some time.
They lost control over their own music long ago. So you can avoid giving any money to the owners of the Beatles catalog, sure, but your rant about the artists' "self absorbed temper tantrums and sense of entitlement" is unwarranted.
If you have a bar, and one of your employees wants to avoid cigarette smoke, how would you accommodate them?
Substitute "cigarette smoke" with "sexual harassment" or "ethnic slurs" or "racial prejudice" or "constant proselytizing" until you come up with something you think should be illegal for employers to inflict on their employees.
If the net had evolved in a way that, for example, made it impossible for black people to use, or gay people, or atheists, or mormons, would you be equally opposed to correction under government edict?
The Mars rovers were constantly negotiating new territory, while colonizing robots would be working very well known territory. All they really need is the ability to response to unexpected situations, which could be as simple of an instruction as "return to your recharge port before you can't see it / reach it and wait" - this covers dust storms. Anything else can wait until the next day, and regular day to day work can be programmed out in advance.
You have to melt the ice and push it up into the atmosphere to generate both atmospheric density and breathable oxygen. That's what the big machine in the mountain is for.
Did you not read the rest of the post you quoted? This was almost 30 years ago, on a BBS, not on the internet, when most people using computers were still courteous.
Even if that wouldn't have changed your rant, the fact that you use the word "internet" five times in your post leads me to believe you failed to read the entire parent. As it is, that makes your post look foolish in a different fashion, and dilutes your message.
The first one is a check on the power of the judiciary - and the judiciary's reluctance to acknowledge its own mistakes. It's based on the notion that most of us would rather have a few criminals go free than allow any innocent people to be imprisoned. A governor's or President's commutation or pardon is often the last recourse for the wrongfully convicted.
And note that Libby, criminal that he is, wasn't pardoned; Bush merely commuted his sentence. This was one of the things that drove a wedge between Bush and Cheney during their second terms.
The second two violate the Constitution, and if we had a Supreme Court with a backbone would be overturned. Alas the judiciary's check on the power of the President and Congress isn't working well right now.
I think he meant the card catalog system at the library. Though honestly I think it was better then; there were fewer penis enlargement spams, at least if you were using the catalog of a library not frequented by high school freshmen.
I highly, highly recommend that you both buy long-term care insurance. If that's your late-retirement plan, be prepared for it.
My wife's grandparents worked hard their whole lives and saved nearly everything, but after he died and his pensions + social security cut off, her $4600 a month nursing home bill has been draining their savings at an alarming rate.
You do not want to rely on Medicare for this. You'll be stuck in a sub-par home because choices for Medicare beds are limited.
And what happens when the house's new owners want it unblurred? Google has to send out a new truck because their only copy of the existing picture is blurry?
I think Google operates under the memo "Never delete anything without a court order." They're required to blur the images they display, not their source material they store internally, so they didn't.
Ability to learn quickly faded immediately when the current was removed. What they learned with the current applied lasted for at least 6 months.
Reduction in ability to learn faded immediately when the current was removed from the other group. They didn't learn anything so testing them in 6 months to see if they still knew it was pointless.
They can't directly copy your layout and can't copy any artwork or photography associated with the recipe, but the recipe itself is fair game.
Be careful! They also can't directly copy the descriptive portion of the recipe, where you instruct the cook how to assemble the ingredients using real sentences in paragraphs.
You say imply this when you say the bit in parenthesis, but then you leave it out of the next sentence.

>> My point that people need to stop being so oversensitive still stands.
How do you know people are still so oversensitive? This happened 30 years ago. Your message = diluted.

And what if an asteroid does it?

I think any judge would laugh at an excuse that internet vandalism can "wash away". If it takes human effort to undue the effect, it's vandalism.

Yeah, but given its price as pills, a pint of liquid Lipitor(tm) will cost like $6,000 in the U.S. (Or $4.95 in Canada/Mexico.)
Yes, but the parent was specifically suggesting that Netflix go out and make deals similar to ones Akamai has already made.
I pointed out that Netflex has been switching service to Akamai, getting access to those existing deals already.
Laptop maker does. That's who I'm talking about.

FPNAs. Field programmable neuron arrays. And yes.
What they learned != ability to learn quickly.
Ability to learn quickly faded immediately when the current was removed. What they learned with the current applied lasted for at least 6 months.

As a country, this week we haven't done a good job of correcting that failure.
